Hi,

I've gotten to the point where I am more frustrated then anything and
just want to see this thing work. Although now I am thinking,
downloading and installing APACHE might be a 1,000,000 times faster.

Has anyone gotten PHP5.2.5 running on WinXP with IIS 5.1?

I have gone through the installer, gone through countless other
suggestions (ISAPI filter, running as a CGI).

And nothing seems to work. I finish doing the install (and
configuring and rebooting) and my php pages can run the phpinfo();
command, but anything else does not work.

When the pages do not work I get the "No input file specified" There
also seems to be some issues where the root directory will display
phpinfo(); correctly but any files under sub-directories will not.

I am not seeing any errors in my event logs... is there a PHP event
log somewhere?

Any suggestions would be great... it just seems like a lot of work do
after I have run an "installer".

The best piece of advice you will EVER receive about running PHP with
IIS is... Don't bother!

You are right, using apache will be a million times better. More
manageable/configurable/compatible/robust/stable etc etc

Nonsense. PHP works fine under IIS. I have it on several VPS's.

Greg,

I never bother with the installer. I download the .zip files and
install manually. It's not hard once you have done it a couple of times
and only takes a couple of minutes.

Sorry, I don't remember what the original site I found the instructions
on, but if you google for iis and php, you'll find several good sets of
instructions.

BTW - I prefer the isapi install.

I got 64-bit php installed and working on W2K3 64-bit version a few
months ago. If I can make that work, you can definitely get it up and
running on XP.

I used the following guide:
<http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html>. It's for W2K3 w/ IIS
6, but the process should be basically the same.

As Jerry said, use the .zip file, not the installer.

....until you have to use 'popen' or 'proc_open'.
